England is a country, which is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north.

Although many golf tourists flock to Scotland and Ireland, England does have some of the best golf courses in the world and is often host to major golf tournaments, like the European Tour. Also many World Golf Championships are played in England and of course a few golf courses are hosts for The Open Championship, the British Major.

Golf in England
In England you will find a wide variety of golf courses, from challenging links courses to picturesque park golf courses. Golf has quite a long history in England. According to Blackheath Golf Club it was formally instituted in 1608, but Royal North Devon was formed in 1864 and remains the oldest course in England still playing along its original fairways. Several famous English golf clubs are Royal St. Georges, Royal Birkdale, Sunningdale, Swinley Forest, Woodhall Spa and Woburn. But England has over 1,800 golf courses to choose from, most of them are really worth a visit! Some hotspots in England for a golftrip are the coast of Kent, the coast running from Blackpool to Liverpool, the area south west of London (Ascot and Woking), the Cornwall coast and the area near Bournemouth and Poole. From its legendary landmarks and bustling cities to its rolling emerald hills, England is an unmissable country of contrasts. London is a must when visiting England, but if you love art make sure to visit Liverpool’s dynamic art scene. If you are more into nature, then Cornwall’s sun-drenched beaches, Kent's fruit-growing orchards or the mysterious Stonehenge are definitely worth a visit. Getting to England is not a real problem. London has six major airports: London City, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Luton, London Stansted and London Southend. Other large airports in England are Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle. And since 1994 you can also travel to England via the Channel Tunnel.

Tyneside Golf Club
What a spectacular course this is! The beautiful weather made the scenery complete. This course has a lot of history and is the oldest course in Northeast England. This course is well maintained in between the natural surroundings and has some spectacular views and awesome drops. With a green fee of only £18 it is more then worth it. I hope to visit this course again in …

Prince's Golf Club
Ons jaarlijks golf-uitje met z'n drieen in het buitenland. Het is Engeland geworden. Voor het eerst door de tunnel met de autotrein. Prima te doen en snelle overtocht van een half uur. Een gezellige B&B in Kent uitgezocht in Elham, vlakbij Canterbury. Vandaar uit, hebben we op drie dagen drie banen gespeeld. Westerham was de eerste, De London Golf Club de tweede en The Pr…

West Cornwall Golf Club
Een echte zeer golfende links duinbaan met behoorlijke hoogteverschillen en zeer uitdagende holes en prachtige vergezichten langs de kust van St Ives en Hayle. We speelde de baan die al ruim 120 jaar bestaat voor de prijs van 40£ pp en de buggy voor 25£. Een geweldige golfcourse echt om van te genieten. Helaas ging het regenen op de 2 de 9. Maar we hebben echt genoten on…
